A/N: ( 　ﾟ,_ゝﾟ)

...

You continued to run through the forest, the distant rumbling of thunder sounding off behind you as the rain that was falling steadily began to increase. You didn't care. You were already soaked and exhausted, using the last bits of your stamina to get yourself as far away from what you'd just witnessed as possible.

How... How could he do that...? You sniffed, letting the tears flow freely now that you were alone. I can't believe I trusted him...

Your eyes widened as your foot hit an elevated root, sending your face and hands tumbling forward as you caught yourself just in time. The giant puddle in front of you broke your fall as a wave of mud splashed onto your clothes and face. 

"..."

You clenched your fists together, laying there for a moment before pushing yourself up into a sitting position. Your arm burned as you looked down to see a fresh scrape, the injury starting to bleed slightly as you brought a hand up to wipe the dirt off your face. You were sure you looked absolutely terrible right now, sitting in a muddy puddle crying your eyes out, but you could care less. You didn't even care if you died right now, feeling like your heart was too broken to carry on anyway...

"Uh... [Y/n]?"

You looked up to see a purple gi staring back at you, continuing to raise your face upwards while squinting against the rain and tears while seeing Piccolo's concerned face.

The Namekian frowned as he looked you over, noticing that you seemed to be rather emotional right now. 

"What happened to you?"

You hiccuped as you tried to control your breathing, doing your best to answer his question while hating that you had to think back to that painful memory. 

"G-Gohan... He... He's cheating on me!"

"What?! That can't be right..." Piccolo said, absolutely shocked. "There's no way-"

"I saw him with Videl!" You shouted, cutting him off while feeling your heart breaking all over again. 

"Rrgh..." Piccolo couldn't believe what he was hearing. He'd thought that you and Gohan had a great relationship, or at least that's how it seemed. He was always hearing his pupil talking about you, actually becoming sick of hearing about how great you were while they were supposed to be training.

Even when you did tag along with them, Piccolo actually enjoyed your company, unlike most humans...

"I'll have a talk with him... That's unacceptable." The fighter in front of you said, picking you up by your shoulders and setting you on your feet.

"It doesn't matter..." You said sadly, looking at the ground and not caring either way. "We're through."

Piccolo was at a loss for words. He wasn't sure what the appropriate response was at a time like this as his social skills had always been severely lacking. He did know that he couldn't just leave this girl out here while she was like this...

"Come on, I'll take you home." Piccolo mumbled, holding his hand out almost reluctantly as he couldn't believe he was doing this. "You're going to catch a cold if you stay..."

You nodded, still feeling depressed but knowing deep down that he was right. At least someone seemed to care slightly about your well being...

You grabbed Piccolo's hand, holding on tight as the two of you began flying towards your house. 

Thank you Piccolo...

...

The next morning...

...

You made your way outside tiredly, stretching as you noticed everything was still wet from last night's storm. It had been rather intense, the weather seeming to mirror your emotions now that you truly thought about it...

You were thankful you could convince Piccolo to stay as well, wanting to be able to do something to pay him back for his kindness. You smiled at the memory as you'd made him up a spot on your couch, saying that there was no way you were letting him sleep outside on a night like this, superhuman fighter or not.

Despite the stoic man agreeing the stay for the night, he was gone the next morning when you awoke, making you slightly disappointed as you'd hoped to have some company.

I wonder what Gohan is thinking right now... You mused, taking a seat on the front steps of your tiny cabin's porch as you watched some leftover rainwater drip into your garden. Thank Kami I don't have to go to work today... You sighed, running a hand through your freshly washed hair as you heard the sound of someone approaching.

"[Y/n]!"

Your heart froze as Gohan stepped into view, smiling at you nervously while walking towards you. "Why weren't you in class today?"

"You should leave."

"... What?"

You stood up from where you were sitting while glaring at the man who'd betrayed you. "I said, you should leave Gohan." Your shaky voice repeated, your jaw clenching subconsciously as you tried to remain strong. 

"Why would you say that?" Gohan asked, sounding genuinely hurt as he tried to take another step towards you. "[Y/n]-"

"I saw you with Videl." You spat, watching your former boyfriend's eyes widen as you knew you'd caught him red handed. "I actually got out of work, so I came to find you guys..." You explained, looking away as you felt your eyes beginning to sting. "I saw her kiss you Gohan... And you didn't stop her..."

"[Y/n]... I... That wasn't..." Gohan tried, not knowing what to say as he knew she was right. He'd been weak in that moment, but felt horrible afterwards and had begged Videl to never tell you. He'd honestly been happy that you weren't in class that day, perhaps giving him a chance to find you first and make things right. "I made a mistake [Y/n], please... You have to let me explain-"

"No." You said coldly, feeling a few tears slide down your face while refusing to look his way. "You can't ever make me understand why you did that..." You realized, knowing that after this, you would never be able to trust him again. "Leave."

"[Y/n]! Just let me talk to you!" Gohan shouted, panicking as he watched you turning to go inside.

Just before you could shut the door on him, he grabbed the slab of wood, easily stopping you dead in your tracks as you growled. You gripped the knob, pulling at it uselessly as you knew the Saiyan was about a hundred times stronger than you.

"Let go!"

"No! Just give me a chance to explain myself!" Gohan argued, throwing the door open angrily as you came flying along with it. He caught you before you could land on the deck, holding you up as you struggled to get away.

"Get off me!" You hissed, pushing on his chest as he held onto you firmly.

"Videl took advantage of me in that moment, you have to believe me!" Gohan said, actually surprising you enough to make you stop fighting him and finally meet his gaze.

"Do you hear yourself?" You said darkly, wondering if he really believed that he was the victim in all this. "I saw you kiss her like... Like you kiss me." You said sadly, putting your hands over your face as you felt the arms that were holding you tense. "I can never forget that."

"[Y/n]..." Gohan whispered, hugging you close as he felt you remain distant in his grasp. "I'm so so sorry..."

"Please put me down Gohan." You asked politely, hoping he would just do as you asked and leave.

A few moments later he did comply with your request, setting you down on your feet gently before stepping back. It was so hard to see the normally tough fighter this way, making you almost want to forgive him immediately as you looked into his tear filled eyes.

"I am sorry [Y/n]..." Gohan said sadly, truly regretting his actions now that it came time to pay the consequences. "I hope one day you can forgive me..."

"I hope so too."

A/N: (╯︵╰,) Would you guys forgive someone if they cheated on you? If it was someone you truly loved? Food for thought...
